ESPN favors the Rebels are favored relatively well in all of their non-conference matchups, with their biggest matchup being at Georgia Tech on primetime in week three. But once their SEC schedule starts, they are only favored by ESPN in four of their eight conference matchups. Ole Miss was undefeated at home last season, and are favored in all of their home matchups this season except for their game against Alabama, who along with Auburn are the only SEC teams to beat the Rebels in 2021. If they can defend their home turf yet again and swing momentum in tough road games versus LSU, Texas A&M, and Arkansas, then the Rebels will be poised for another successful season.
